Architecture, peinture et sculpture de la maison de ville d'Amsterdam
A 1719 engraved plate book on the architecture, painting and sculpture of Amsterdam's town hall, compiled by Hubertus Quellinus and published by Valck, presumably for architects, artists and patrons interested in the decoration of the building. The pictures are black-and-white copperplate engravings: ornamental panels of garlands, putti and cartouches, alongside dense multi-figure reliefs with staircases and classical draped figures, which a designer could draw on for border, frame and swag motifs.
